Episode 83 - First Watch February The Menu (2022)

We are back, at least temporarily to let you all know what's been happening during the Skewered Universe Podcast production hiatus.  There's talk about stuff we've been watching, video games we have been playing, and some personal stuff that I share because I wanted to open about some things I've only every vaguely mentioned in the past.  It's an off the cuff conversation episode that we wanted to do to let you all know we haven't gone anywhere and we'll be back soon.  #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies Remember to get your copy of Tales from the Podcast: The Fucking Video Game! for $10 via PayPal.  Use the email [email protected] and we will send you the direct game file.  For an extra $5 you can get the code to access the cheat bot if that's how you roll.  It's a very fun retro style turn based RPG filled with adult humor, crude language and horror references galore.  *No internet connection required to play the game, single player only, no special launchers required* Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

*We had a minor audio issue during this episode so apologies for the less than stellar sound.  I, Jeff, did as much as I could on the back end to clean it up and make it sound as listenable as possible.  We are working on some audio upgrades for the near future, but we have the current issues finally sorted out and should be back to sounding more normal in the next episode.  Thanks for listening and understanding* This episode dives into the subjects of stalking and sexual abuse/sexual assault as we discuss the Netflix Limited Series, Baby Reindeer released this year.  *TRIGGER WARNING* we do discuss spoilers and some of the events depicted in this series so if that is something that makes you uncomfortable, we understand if you skip this episode.   We decided to cover this one in a slightly tweaked version of Interstellar Interstitials so we hope you enjoy that and leave us some feedback and maybe we will do more limited series in the future. If you or anyone you know has been the victim of sexual abuse or violence, need help with thoughts of self harm or suicide, or need help with mental health and well being as a result or trauma or in general, please reach out for help. You can go to www.wannatalkaboutit.com. as this link was shown at the end of the Baby Reindeer series and has links and more information that can help you or someone you know get the assistance they need.  You can also go to www.rainn.org for resources regarding help with sexual violence within the United States.  The RAINN website features a live chat or you can call them at 800-656-HOPE (4673).

We continue with Leiann's Birthday Month and this time she decided to choose the 2020 film starring Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg, Vivarium.  Before we decided to check out house #9 in a housing development of infinitely identical homes with no residents, we talk a bit about the Netflix series The Sandman, based on the Neil Gaiman graphic novel.   #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #vivariummovie #vivarium #imogenpoots #jesseeisenberg #scifi #scifihorror  Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

It's March which means it's Leiann's Birthday month so we are watching movies of her choosing.  We kick off this episode talking a bit about the recently released docuseries Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV and how it made us feel equally depressed, saddened, disgusted and angry and how I've been going back through the early 2000's superhero series Smallville.  Then we get into the meat of the episode by discussing the1980 David Lynch directed film, The Elephant Man, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sir John Hurt....in Interstellar Interstitial style of course.   We recommend you watch the movie before listening to this episode as we do spoil the movie because it's difficult to discuss such a beautifully tragic film without spoilers.  (Apologies for what sounds like something banging off of microphones, that was my insulated tumbler getting set on our table). #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #theelephantmanmovie #theelephantman #johnmerrick #davidlynch #anthonyhopkins #johnhurt #blackandwhitemovies Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

First Watch February comes to a close with a hell of a finale. Leiann and I were joined by our very good friend and fellow podcaster from Strange Highways, Paul Steadman and his lovely wife Mary to discuss Satoshi Kon's 1997 animated feature Perfect Blue.  It's always a blast to talk with Paul and it was even better having Mary on as well to talk about a movie they both have a lot of love for that Leiann and I experienced for the first time.  This was one hell of a way to close out First Watch February 2024! #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #strangehighwayspodcast #strangehighways #perfectbluefilm #perfectblue #satoshikon #anime #animation #japaneseanimation  Make sure to go support Paul and his co-host Terry by checking out Strange Highways podcast and following them on social media using the links below: https://www.facebook.com/strangehighwayspodcast https://www.instagram.com/strangehighwayspodcast/ strangehighways.podbean.com Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

First Watch February continues and I had the pleasure of talking with writer, director, podcast host, comedian and one of my co-hosts on Tales from The Podcast, Ron Purtee.  This was Ron's selection and made a perfect movie to consume for this month.  **Before you watch this movie, if you have misophonia or another auditory issue that make multiple people talking over one another difficult to listen to then I would recommend you skip this movie as it is an auditory assault for anyone with auditory sensitivity issues** #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #pontypoolmovie #stephenmchattie #killiskiss #canadianhorror #ronpurtee #imuncleron #talesfromthepodcast  You can find Ron on social media, just search for @imuncleron, catch him with me and JB every Saturday live on Tales From The Podcast @ 6pm PST/9pm EST, and make sure to check everything else he is doing at the links below: www.imuncleron.com Uncle Ron - YouTube ImUncleRon - Twitch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

We kick off First Watch February by checking out the 2022 film The Menu.  A stellar cast and a very cool premise had Leiann and I ready to sit down and dine on this one. #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #themenumovie #themenu2022 #themenu #ralphfiennes #anyataylor-joy #nicholashoult Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

We close out January is for Giallo 2024 by taking a look at Dario Argento's Phenomena from 1985.  Leiann and I sat down and did this in our classic Interstellar Interstitial style so watch along with us if you feel so inclined and find out our thoughts as you watch a fun supernatural giallo film. #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #giallo #italianhorror #darioargento #jenniferconnelly #donaldpleasance #murdermonkey #insects Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?

To help ring in 2024, Leiann and I grabbed some snacks & alcoholic beverages and recorded the first audio commentary (you know the one we have promised for over a year now) for Tales From The Crypt Present: Demon Knight.  This is our way of saying thanks to everyone who has listened from the beginning and stuck with us through everything that has been thrown our way the last couple of years.   Let's all have a great and prosperous 2024!!!  Happy New Year from Skewered Universe Podcast!!! #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #audiocommentary #commentary #demonknight #talesfromthecrypt #talesfromthecryptdemonknight #skewereduniverseinterstellarcommentary Want to connect with Skewered Universe on Social Media?
